Same thing here, I absolutely hate talking on the phone, to the point of getting anxious when I know I am due to receive a call at any moment. However, meeting in person is probably the most pain-free type of communication for me - it even beats email because you can gauge exactly how the other person is taking in what you are saying. That's why video-chat programs like Skype help immensely with my phone anxiety. So no need to assume that those who despise the phone also dislike face-to-face interactions.
